Putting food waste to work in Yorkshire

Leeming Biogas is set to be the largest food waste ‘gas to grid’ anaerobic digestion plant in

NorthYorkshire.

This joint venture between developer JFS & Associates and Iona Capital is creating a multi-million pound plant at Leeming Bar which will convert waste from the food production industry into biomethane, for injection into NGN’s pipe network.

The industrial sized plant will generate up to eight million cubic metres annually of biomethane and handle up to 80,000 tonnes of waste each year that would otherwise be taken to landfill or spread directly onto the land.
